Bizarre FIA punishment issued at Silverstone over rare incident at British GP
A strange FIA punishment was issued at the British Grand Prix last weekend following an incident in the F2 feature race at Silverstone. Alongside F1, F2, F3, and F4 all raced at Silverstone together for the first time, making history in Northamptonshire. The punishment was directed at American F2 driver Max Esterson during the mandatory pit stop, where a team member failed to wear the required eye protection while changing the right rear tire. As a consequence, the Trident team was fined €500, but no penalty was imposed on Esterson. Esterson, having a unique path into motorsports starting from sim racing at 11, has progressed through various single-seater championships up to F2, though he is yet to secure a podium or points in 2025, currently ranking P20 in the standings with his best finish at P13 in the feature race.
